Men of War: Vietnam in Development

[Nike-it]

A new title in the world-known Men of War real-time tactics game series - Men of War: Vietnam (http://www.1cpublishing.eu/game/men-of-war-vietnam/overview) - is now in the development.
The new, story-driven campaign shows the explosive mix of the jungle, Hueys and rock-n-roll in 1968.

During this conflict the US troops were using not only new weapons, but new tactics as well. The war in Vietnam became the first military conflict where helicopters played a significant role, and this is one of the major features of this game.
The campaign is 10 missions and focuses on a team of elite special ops soldiers, and each one of them has a personality. The unit includes Sergeant John Merrill, machinegunner Jim Walsh, sniper Sonny Armstrong, grenade launcher operator Carl Dillan and combat engineer Bill Kirby. In some missions they can count only on themselves, while in the others they act together with regular US and South-Vietnamese troops.
Missions in Men of War: Vietnam range from special operations (rescuing a shot-down pilot, escorting a reporter, etc.) to full scale battles.

Key features
• The new campaign tells the story of the US special ops team in the Vietnam War.
• Breathtaking missions including an ambush on the Ho Chi Minh trail, a game of cat and mouse in the Mekong Delta, raids into Cambodia and Laos, bridge defense during the Tet offensive and more.
• New weapons and units: M-16, T-54, M-113, Patton III, M-60, AK-47, M-14, RPG-2, M-72 LAW, RPK and many more.

Is this going to be multiplayer, singleplayer or both?

[Nike-it]

Only singleplayer, like Red Tide.

[Korsakov829]

Looking forward to it then.

[classic_leon]

Wow, there gonna be T-54! This type of tank has stabilized gun controls to fire more accurately on the move. I can't wait for see this...as well as the missles tracking of a target (if there will be missles).

[Nikitns]

duno i prefer mow ww2 style

[kane1]

Can't Wait!

[Korsakov829]

No doubt its going to lag some bit for people with all those trees. I'm going to recreate John Rambo when it comes out.

The thing that kind of puts me down is the voice acting. I'll get the English version of games since I have problems with games in reading cyrilic. In Red Tide and Men of War the battlecries and such are good since they are original, but the campaign was voiced over in English.

[Nokturnal]

The first thing that came to my head when i saw "Men of War: Vietnam" were memories of playing Starcraft and using the burrow ability with Zerg...
I can just imagine "unburrowing" a horde of VC as the US come into range.. :p

All joking aside, it sounds great and i'm glad to hear it's focusing on SP so we can look forward to a decent couple of campaigns. :D

[Nikitns]

it could be cool ambushing and slaughter marines as VC as well ^^

[Korsakov829]

Are the helicopters going to be player owned or called in like plane strikes? Or are they going to go into a mission like the one where you control a jeep in direct control?

[szebus]

How modable the game will be and YES, the helicopters are player controllable or they are like single player planes in Men of War ? There are some upcoming mods for Men of War with controllable helicopters and those are fan-made stuffs so I guess that in MoW: Vietnam the helicopters can be made player controllable.

[GF_Mastiff]

hey Nike it shoot me a PM. Ill do the voice overs for a good price. English side of course.

[megakill]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

MoW Vietnam will have multiplayer!

[SpeedWolf]

Multiplayer for Men of War: Vietnam fantastic http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/forums/images/smilies/icon_beertoast2.gif

It will be co-op mode for up to 4 players. So you'll be able to finish the campaign together with your friends.

Will it have a game editor?

[szebus]

It should have a map editor.

Btw, are there any news about hen it's done and is it confirmed that helicopters will be controllable ?
Dose it has an official site ?

The site is in development and the final release date will be announced soon. The helicopters are not controllable, only act as air support.

[szebus]

... The helicopters are not controllable, only act as air support.

Too bad. It could have been nice to have controlled hellis. Just one more question, have 1C Ino-Co tried to work on the helicopter control, as would it be possible to make hellis controled by player mutch easily as airplanes ?

I'll ask the devs about it, and Vietnam is developed by our internal team, not 1C Ino-Co.

[szebus]

Oh sorry, my mistake. But then I am not well informed. What is the difference between Ino-Co and internal team ?

[Sneaksie]

These are different teams, internal team being a part of 1C itself.

[Aeon]

As far as I understand, this game will feature a mp-coop mode (which is awesome) but no "regular" mp-modes (i.ex. 1v1), right?

[Korsakov829]

Well its not going to be regular like Men of War otherwise no one would bother with it.

[machoo]

Can you combine forces from earlier MOW titles with the Vietnam ones? Like Have American forces from 68 vs Germans in a skirmish mode?? That'd be fun.

[Korsakov829]

There is no skirmish mode.

You can take units from Vietnam and put them in a Men of War mod however, and make your own maps.

[Nokturnal]

So now that Assault Squad is more or less out the door - Any indication on when we can expect Vietnam to release?

I hate to be "that guy" who revives an old thread with a question the devs/mods are sick of hearing - However i am planning to leave the country some time in May and will be abandonning my PC and gaming for a couple of years, hoping to get a chance to play this before i depart.

[Sneaksie]

We'll try to release it before your departure then:)

You going 2 space or something :D ? , never abandon pc gaming ;)

Sneaksie mate, you're a legend. ;)

PC gaming is just keeping me busy at the moment, it will only be a distraction in the future - Let's just say there are far better things, or rather, people.. to play with where i'm going. :-P

[SpeedWolf]

I am disappointed with assault squad but i have something to look forward to with Men of War: Vietnam. because is the same team that made Red Tide.

Red Tide was a excellent Singleplayer for the die hard men of war player. the only thing was missing was Multiplayer co-op.

so i can't wait for Men of War: Vietnam with Multiplayer co-op.

single player was terrible in those games, no challenge. Multiplayer was its strong point. God knows where you people come from.

You come out of nowhere to say that single player is terrible and that there is no challenge. your definitely playing the wrong game with comment like that.


I been playing this Series from 2003 and you have the nerve to say "God knows where you people come from" as well as going off topic in this forum.

[commanderz]

finally the unbelievable has come truth!!! cant wait~~jet & helicopter....!!hope later the game will advance more further....into modem warfare:rolleyes:.....and btw MOW is the best strategy game i ever play...(especially the manual control of a vehicle or soldier) ..unlike the game play of company of hero ...or any other strategy game....keep up the work ^^....

You are quickly showing how arrogant you are - Insulting other posters who ask simple questions and arguing with people over their own opinion of the game. Amazing.
Didn't your mother ever tell you that the world does not revolve around you? :rolleyes:

Pull your head in mate, you won't get far in life if you continue acting the way you do on a simple gaming forum.

To be perfectly honest, one of the reasons i avoid MP is because i want to avoid people like you with your narrow minded views and holier-than-thou attitude.

Hi, didn't your mother ever tell you not to get butt-hurt by people on a forum? You're not going to get far in life being offended by everything. And don't tell us you're scared of multi player because you have to play with other people, if you're a loner that's fine but don't expect sympathy.

"Butt-hurt"?.. :rolleyes:
Ahh of course, I get it now. You're just a kid (or have the mind of one at least) that explains your attitude and all of your posts.

I won't bother trying to talk sense with you anymore, it's clear you are going to resort to pathetic attempts at insulting me whenever you reply. Easier than using your brain and coming up with a decent argument instead, I guess?..

Congrats - You are the first person to be added to my ignore list. :grin:

[Trog]

I am helping a guy do a Clones conversion, it is slow with only two of us and we have a ton to do, but If the Helicopters work as the should then he also has a gunship for the Clones that only needs the associated controls for, that could use the set up here.

Looking forward to the game and to mod it.

[typedempireshogun]

:-PI need men of war games dowload link Vietnam. I support people doing this mod.Hope this mod does not do People Vietnam disappointed.I support men of war vietnam , Company of Heroes:Vietnam and Company of Heroes: Vietnam Conflict.Hope the mod on will be released soon.However the games Vietnam War were banned in Vietnam because related in politics internal communist so I can only download in the forum only.war to the American soldiers most remembered is the war in vietnam.I suggest to add the war between Vietnam and china, Korea and South Korea this is the best way to develop men of war and Company of Heroes.That would be the greatest war the world:mrgreen from after 1975 and before 1975 ::-P:evil::rolleyes:

Strange, but I always thought that game forums were for asking questions about games and so forth, not randomly insulting people...must've got it wrong...

Anyway, sarcasm aside, is there an actual release date for MOW Vietnam in the UK?

[FM_Von_Manstein]

Multiplayer will be COOP only? Man, I don't think I'm getting this then. I'm not a fan of the MoW Campaigns, I play it for the excellent online play and if it won't have any online play I have no reason to get it. Pity too, I was excited about this.

Also there's some half assed work being done by the researchers. The M24 barely saw use in Vietnam, only a small number of ARVN units still had them in 1965 and those that did saw little combat. US forces never used them and the ARVN quickly put them in storage when more M41 Walker Bulldogs arrived.

[013 Version B]

What vietnam needs are 2 things:

-Scavenge button: 35m radius your troops pick up to 15 bandages, 2 hand /AT grenades and ammo for all the weapon types theyre at that moment carrying if available. been waiting for that since soldiers:heroes of ww2

-renewed buying screen, ditch the MOW one and bring back the one from heroes of ww2 which actually shows your money, the costs of the units and what the unit youre about to buy has and can do. remove the goddamn timers from units, instead limit money and cps.


they bring those 2 out and mow vietnams gonna be a blast.

[Ernes]

The truth on having seen the weapon and vehicles that were going out has been necessary to them to put some that went out historically:
